2.3.2. Clocking Scheme

The following diagrams show the clocking scheme for the design example.

Figure 8. Clocking Scheme for Ethernet Design Example with IEEE 1588v2 Feature
Note: The IOPLL input reference clock is sourcing from input clock through the global clock network. Sourcing reference clock from a cascaded PLL output, global clock or core clock network may introduce additional jitter to the ATX/FPLL/IOPLL output. Refer to this KDB Answer for a workaround you should apply to the IP core in your design.
